Scottish Association for Marine Science

The Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), based at the Dunstaffnage Marine Laboratory in Scotland, is a collaborative research center committed to delivering high-quality independent research and education in marine science. With a focus on multidisciplinary research in Scottish coastal waters to the Arctic Ocean, SAMS investigates past and present changes in Northern Seas through various scientific programs and research activities. SAMS also hosts the National Facility for Scientific Diving and the Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa.
